What people usually use when scratching their backs? If it was you, 'What do you usually use in scrathing your back?
'Ever got to use something for you to scratch your back with? like automated back scrather, something like that or simply using your own hands when scratching or maybe then asking somebody to scratch your back for you, etc?:-)
I do personally use an artificial wooden hands to scratch my back when I feel some itchness there, I feel more comfortable with it so far lols, so how about you guys?

Hmm....I have used a fork....I have used a the wall which does not work well. My mother has scratched my back, but she does not want to do it too hard...do it hard please! I asked my husband to do it when he was just learning English and did not know what the word scratch meant. He made a poor assumption and hit me on the back. What man worth his salt assumes you want to be hit?

Yes, my back is fine now. The fork is good if you know how to use it gently. My husband is learning.

I will usually have my daughter scratch my back for me when it's itchy, and she does an excellent job too! LOL. But when she's not home, I will either use the closest door frame, or I will get my back scrub brush and scratch until the itch goes away. I thought about one of those wooden back scratchers, but I would probably wear it out before a week was up. LOL

I keep a brand new back brush, like for the bath, at the head of my bed, for when my back gets itchy in the night. It sure comes in handy, as sometimes hubby will not wake up and scratch my back for me. If I am not within reach of anything to scratch my back I will rub the itchy part on the door frame and I get relief that way. I would probably lose one of those little wooden hand things.

I use my hands to scratch the itching part. I used to have my mom scratch my itching back when I was a kid. Enjoy being scratched on the back.

I always scratch my back especially at night before I retire to bed. Just like you, I have an artificial wooden hands to scratch my back myself. I have it on my bed's headboard, always ready when I need it. When I am in school, I just ask a friend to scratch my back, or lean against a wall and rub my back against it...it's just a matter of being creative, just as long as I relieve my back of the itch...Anyone? I'll scratch your back, you scratch mine...

That's good you have such kind of preparation, so that way you need not to call for somebody elses help to do the scratch for you because you have your weapon already to it, your wooden hands scratcher...good enough though. Good for you then! Thanks for sharing :-)

I do not have a device to scratch my back. If my back is itching I usually rub it against the edge of a door or a door post. This cures the problem very nicely and it is absolutely free and I can do this whereever I am. But I do not have an itchy back anyhow. My grand-mother has already scratched her back this way and so do I.
